“Will demit office as Governor RBI later today. Thank you everyone for your support and good wishes,” said Das on X. He credited PM Modi for his guidance and thoughts, which he said had greatly benefitted him during his tenure.

"Immensely grateful to the Hon’ble PM @narendramodi for giving me this opportunity to serve the country as Governor RBI and for his guidance and encouragement. Benefited a lot from his ideas and thoughts," he said.

Das also highlighted his working relationship with Sitharaman, and said, “The fiscal-monetary coordination was at its best and helped us deal with the multiple challenges during the last six years.”

In a series of tweets, Das extended his thanks to various stakeholders, including financial sector participants, economists, industry bodies, and agriculture and service sector organisations, for their contributions and suggestions.

He also expressed gratitude to the entire RBI team, saying, “Together, we successfully navigated an exceptionally difficult period of unprecedented global shocks. May the RBI grow even taller as an institution of trust and credibility.”
